Twitter to wipe Trump's followers before Biden handover
BBC News - Twitter to wipe Trump's followers before Biden handover
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-55426685
> Twitter has confirmed that the official US presidential accounts will be wiped of their millions of followers before being transferred to the Biden administration.
So, the official accounts of @VP, @FLOTUS, @PressSec, @Cabinet, @WhiteHouse, @POTUS, etc will have their followers reset to zero despite Biden's team fighting against Twitter's decision. Not his personal accounts.
Sometimes it is better to use a different source than this article.

Did you even read the article? The WSJ one agrees with the BBC one!
Surely you must have read the HN guidelines [0]:

Generally, it is also in agreement but in comparison to the WSJ, BBC News Online lacks quality and the content of the article is glossed over and omits information, etc.
The BBC headline is typical click-bait when compared to the WSJ, and BBC News online is riddled with this in their articles to drive clicks on their site. Not something I would want my tax money to fund.
Biden's team doesn't want this. This hasn't been done in the past, either. So why are they doing this? I don't think it's just to stick their thumb in Biden's eye. But what other reason do they have?
